Café Conversations:tasting the Power of Presence-in-action

What is going on in your life that is NOT how you want it to be? What can you do to change it?

The P6 Constellation is proving to be a powerful way for many people to become pro-active agents in transforming themselves, their lives and relationships. But what is it? How does it work? Can anyone use it? Hear personal stories about how Louie Gardiner and others are using the P6 Constellation on a daily basis to navigate life’s challenges.

We would love you to join us: Louie will be joined by one or more of the Pioneer Practitioners – Ro, Karen, Sam as well as others who have embraced this approach to help them navigate through life with more joy and freedom. We have experiences to share which may excite and surprise you – stories of struggle, joy, celebration and wonder. We share stories about how our friends, families, colleagues and kids are being impacted by the changes in us. Be ready to be touched and inspired to try out this radically new way of engaging with yourself and others.

We can’t wait to meet you!

If you are intrigued and want to find out more over a cuppa, register via Eventbrite.

There will be a nominal fee to cover expenses. You can purchase refreshments on arrival at the café.

EPIA: Experience Presence-in-Actionintroducing the P6 Constellation

EPIA is for 6-24 participants.

This one-day introductory learning event opens you up to experiencing Presence-In-Action through the portals of the P6 Constellation. Louie invites you to open up to the possibilities of liberating yourself from life-long stuck patterns that get in the way of you having the life and relationships you really want. You will get introduced to the basics of the P6 Constellation – what it is (and is not); what it does (and does not do); how despite some similarities, it is fundamentally different from conventional coaching and therapeutic approaches. More importantly, you will gain a sense of how it can equip you to engage with yourself and others more compassionately, joyfully and hope-fully.

Louie shares how the P6 Constellation came into being. She signposts some of the academic theories and complexity principles that inform / make sense of its form and process. One or more of the P6 Constellation pioneer practitioners will share their own experiences and will support participants to ‘have a go’ for themselves.

POPIA: Power of Presence-in-actiongetting into flow with the P6 Constellation

This four-day programme takes you on a deep dive into learning to use the P6 Constellation with yourself and each other. You will be given many opportunities to practice in pairs, small groups and in the whole group. POPIA Learning Events are for 3-7 participants supported by Louie and 1-2 practitioners from our Community in Practice (CiP) . You will experience first-hand how the P6 Constellation helps you NOTICE what is present within, between and around you. It will illuminate patterns that repeat across time and situations in your life. In the process of illumination, you will gain insights and will begin to experience transformational shifts in understanding.

Theoretical underpinnings (drawing on fields as diverse as systems thinking, complexity theory, quantum mechanics, cognitive sciences, cybernetics and neuroscience, Natural Inclusion etc.) will be introduced along the way to enable you as participants to access new lenses and ways of understanding and talking about what is going on! However, users of the P6 constellation DO NOT need to engage with any of these theoretical underpinnings for it to work its magic!

Currently we have five scales of learning which develop, reflect and acknowledge your capacity to work with more people ‘in the room’ using the P6 Constellation. This means handling greater complexity and unpredictability. POPIA equips you to be a Self-Practitioner enabling you to develop greater resilience, resourcefulness and self-mastery. To be recognised as a Community Approved Practitioner (CAP) you will need to join our Community in Practice (CiP) and participate in CiP gatherings at least twice a year.

COMMUNITY APPROVED PRACTITIONER (CAP) PROGRESSION

For those wishing to support others in a professional capacity, you can progress to: CAP2: 1-1 Practitioner; CAP3: Group Practitioner; CAP4: Associate Supervisor; and CAP5: Associate Trainer. To gain and retain your status at these scales, you will embrace our CAP Commitments.

CAP2: 1-1 Practitioner
POPIA participants experience the power of the P6 Constellation to bring about personal transformational shifts. It takes practice to integrate this pioneering approach in support of our ongoing personal development. It takes committed practice with other learners to develop the confidence and sufficient acuity, agility and fluency to support other people facing challenges in their own lives. As P6 Constellation practitioners, we need to go there first before presuming to work with others. People wishing to become 1-1 Practitioners declare their interest. They attend a 2-day CAP2 Orientation training and embrace the CAP Commitments. Full details are made available to those wishing to progress.

CAP3: Group Practitioner
CAP2 Practitioners wishing to use the P6 Constellation with groups undertake a 3-day CAP3 training and embrace the CAP Commitments. To extend their own learning, they support the delivery of EPIA (CAP0) and POPIA (CAP1) learning events as Practice Partners for new participants. They also commit to only running P6 Constellation group sessions in partnership with other CAPs. Full details are made available to those wishing to progress.

CAP4 & 5: Associate Supervisor & Associate Trainer
Those progressing to CAP4 and CAP5 status undertake advanced training bringing together practice and theory and they embrace the CAP Commitments. They support the delivery of CAP2 and CAP3 learning events as Practice Partners. In addition, they shadow and contribute to the delivery of EPIA and POPIA learning events alongside the Lead Trainer.
